How Dayfiles Tests PDF and Image Workflows

What gets checked on live tools

• whether the linked route still exists and loads correctly
• whether the tool category or task path still matches the guide claim
• whether the workflow sequence described on the page still makes sense for the current route
• whether the product hub and article links still connect cleanly

What gets checked on guides

Guides are reviewed for task clarity, step order, risky failure points, and whether the final review checks would actually help a user avoid rework.

The site also checks whether an article is saying something distinct or just repeating a neighboring workflow page with surface-level wording changes.

Examples of failure types Dayfiles looks for

• screenshots that no longer match the live route
• guide intros that overpromise what the workflow can do
• navigation paths that send readers into the wrong product hub
• checklists that are too generic to catch real delivery mistakes
• pages that read like tool-adjacent filler rather than operational guidance

When screenshots are refreshed

Screenshots should be refreshed when the visible route changes meaningfully, when the UI no longer supports the explanation on the page, or when the old capture makes the product look incomplete or outdated.

Dayfiles uses screenshots as proof and orientation, not as decorative filler. If a capture stops doing that job, it should be replaced.

What review-ready means before publishing

A page is review-ready when the route is live, the explanation is specific, the screenshots support the claim, the internal links work, and the page would still be useful if a reader were comparing options rather than immediately using the tool.

That standard is stricter than “the page loads.” It is meant to keep workflow pages from becoming low-information wrappers around product links.
